What is Emotional Freedom Technique?

If you want to eliminate stress and worry from your life, then the Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT could help you achieve your goal. EFT is a healing method that promotes harmony between your body and your environment. It works by stimulating your body’s pressure points.

This technique is borrowed from Eastern philosophies where people believe in the life force called ‘Chi.’ An intimate knowledge of the body’s pressure points or energy channels and tapping on these through stimulation releases blockages of the energy flow or ‘Chi.’

EFT is very similar to that other ancient Chinese healing method known as acupuncture. Acupuncture shares the same methodology as EFT except that it uses needles in stimulating our pressure points to release the energy flow.

The EFT technique does the same thing, but it does it without the use of needles. Once a practitioner has located the sources of the blockage, they begin to tap on these pressure points.

EFT exercises relax the body by releasing negative energies. It is the negative energies that that cause ‘Chi’ imbalance by blocking it. It is also recommended that a practitioner lets go of anything in his or her mind that could cause stress while doing the exercises to ensure the release of the negative energies.

Although, EFT is not as widespread as other healing techniques, it is fast gaining popularity. Joining a healing session could be an interesting experience for you.

The Chinese have relied on this method of healing for thousands of years but there isn’t much evidence from modern, Western medical practice to support its methodology. EFT is on a similar situation but persons who have submitted to it would swear by its simplicity and positive effect on the body.

Learning the Emotional Freedom technique can be easy these days as you don’t have to enroll in a course and attend classes. It is as easy as downloading material from the Internet. If you are interested to learn EFT, then you might want to consider reading Dr. Sylvia Hartmann’s e-book: Adventures in EFT.
